Wood 'loved' watching Carbery

The number ten was thrust into the spotlight during the match against New Zealand in Chicago when he made his Ireland debut and he's quickly assumed the position of number two to Johnny Sexton in the Leinster set up.

The 21 year old is currently sidelined following ankle surgery.

Wood says Carbery has been a revelation. "I've loved watching the little vignettes of Carbery and the difference that he brings to the position," he said.

"A guy with a different skill set and maybe a different rugby education - I think there's something very enjoyable about that."
